Jordan Bardella attacks Minister of National Education Pap Ndiaye for his remarks on the police

“It’s a return to La France insoumise. He ticks absolutely all the boxes to be a member of the Nupes”. Guest Thursday, June 9 of the program “France 2022”, the interim president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella, strongly criticized the appointment of Pap Ndiaye to the Ministry of National Education. “We are there in front of a minister, the anti-Jean-Michel Blanquer, who, all his life, denounced structural racism in society”he estimated.

He then reproached him for remarks about the French police. “The videos are on the internet, the statements are public. Nauseating, filthy parallels between French police in the suburbs. Today he compared it to the French police in Vichy, who organized roundups of Jewish children during the Second World War”he attacked.

As explained Le Figarothe new minister did not directly compare the current French police to that which carried out the roundup of Vel’ d’Hiv but simply mentioned this past. “When we look at the history of France, we must also look at the case of the police, a history of the police marked by forms of colonial repression, think of the war in Algeria (… ) to the occupation and roundups of Jews carried out by the French police under the authority of Maurice Papon in Paris or Bordeaux”he explained on Mediapart.
